Police appeal for information to recover medals and jewellery

PICTURES have been released of five medals which were stolen from a house in Worcester before Christmas.

An Africa Star campaign medals, a 1939-1945 Star, a War Medal and a Defence Medal along with a General Service Medal with Palestine Bar for services in Palestine between April 19 1936 and September 3 1939 were stolen from a house in Sherwood Lane, St John’s, while the residents were away.

The residents returned home from a weekend away on Monday, December 23 to find their home had been broken into through a rear window. Neighbours said they saw lights in the house during the evening on Friday, December 20, and police said it is likely this is when the burglary took place.

Also stolen were an 18 carat gold wedding ring, an 18 carat engagement ring with three diamonds, a white gold engagement ring with a single diamond, a man’s gold engagement ring with a band the shape of a buckle, a collection of antique jewellery and about $500 in cash.
